Abstract: An animatronic toy includes a motor, a compound geneva gear assembly, and a plurality of moving parts. The compound geneva gear assembly has a plurality of geneva drivers driven by the motor and a plurality of geneva followers. Each of the geneva followers are positioned to be driven by one of the geneva drivers. The geneva drivers are rotationally coupled to each other. Each of the geneva drivers includes at least one set of teeth and at least one stop. Each of the geneva followers includes at least one set of teeth and at least one cutout. The plurality of moving parts are driven by the geneva followers. The geneva drivers may form a compound geneva driver with an axis of rotation, a plurality of sets of teeth extending radially and a plurality of stops disposed in an alternating pattern along the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A panel assembly system is disclosed, which includes an anchor; a tension line, secured to the anchor; and a puller, comprising an engaging face, a pivot joint secured to the engaging face, a lever rotatably mounted about the pivot joint, and a roller mounted on the lever, wherein the puller is configured to receive the tension line threaded about the puller and the pin, and to self-bind the tension line at the puller and tense the tension line between the puller and the anchor, when the lever is rotated.
